True, but I'll mention the semantics of channels once again. Go blocks are attached to channels, and channels exist on their own as values. No where in this entire system is there some global list of channels or go blocks (except for in the executors, but let's not get into that right now).
This means that entire chains of gos and channels can be reclaimed by the GC if neither end of the chain is anchored in a GC root.
